The commencement address of Da
vid Starr Jordan, president of the Le
land Stanford Jr. University, before
the graduating class of the one-hundred
twenty-six, of the O. A. C, was
a masterpiece of argument agairst
war and preparation tor w?.r, delivered
in plain language, without oratory,
about as a man would talk in his own
parlor.
It was in the midst of massive deco
rations and evergreens, before an im
mense audience, following songs by
the prima donna Mm me. Norelli, an
artist of superior talent. Some things
he said were of a striking character.
War is always the acme, the con
summation of waste. It is graft, the
getting of something for nothing; it
belongs to the dark ages, a sham,
a matter of pomp and feathers.
The notion that war creates brave
men is a mistake. Good blood and
training make bravery.
The nations of the world owe $37,-
000,000,000, mostly the result of war.
The European nations are so much
in debt they couldn't fight if they
wanted to, even it transported tree
across the ocean.
The men who talk about war with
Japan arc scoundrels,, doing it for fi
nancial gain. Japan is hopelessly in
debt.
$800,000 a day is spent for war pre
paration, a waste.
A Chinaman put t this way: Big
fish eat little fish, little hsh eat shrimp,
shrimp cat mud.
War debts create a national debil
ity. A Mexican dog has so degen
erated if one were to pinch his tail
his eyes would pop out. That's what
war does.
The total enrollment of the O. A.
C, covering all departments, Presi

Governor of State Receives an
Ovation When He Concluds
His Address.
PRES. CROOKS PRESENTS
DIPLOMAS TO GRADUATES
Commencment Exercises Are
Well Attended by Friends
of Albany College.
Governor Oswald West received a
tremendous ovation this morning
when he delivered the annual com
mencement address to the graduates
of the Albany College.
Declaring that many young men are
looking for a '"soft snap" and are only
too willing to dodge the responsibili
ties of life, the Governor gave the
graduates an abundance of sensible
advice, and his address was inter
spersed with terse and well put epi
grams. His address was in part as follows:
''Too many young men and women
would slide through life with little
exertion. They wait for opportunity
tq knock at their door when every
day and every hour opportunity is
knocking loudlv and only waits for a
receptive mind and willing hands to
grasp it."
''Every young man should have a
definite and fixed purpose. He should
have an object in life and neither pop
ular clamor or the advice of well-
! meaning friends should swerve him
j from that fixed purpose in life. Don't
be alraid of being called a dreamer,
but make your dreams a reality.
Every great man is more or less of a
dreamer every great undertaking
was in its inception a dream then a
reality.'
"If is the duty of every man to do
good in the world. This duly de
volves upon both the rich and the
dutv.'
"A great manv men go through life
j on the brains of their wives and their
stenographers. Jwany a who tceds
her husband intelligence every day
of his hie and without her assist-
ineo he would be numbered among
life's failures. HI had my way, every
1 woman in the state would have the
Ill
privilege ot voting.
"The reason that the fellow that
minds his own business, succeeds so
well, is because he has so little com
petition. You will have enough to
attend to without attending to the
other fellow's business ventures."
'I have taken this job of mine
more or less seriously. Early in life
1 formed certain ideas as to the treat
ment of prisoners. When 1 was
elected to my present position I ob
tained the privilege of putting those
ideas into effect and have done so to
the best of my ability. I have been
criticised and advised against the
policy by some of my intimate friends,
but remained firm. The policy is now
working out better than 1 antici
pated." JZl have always held that it is bet
ter to fail and sink into oblivion than
to succeed by a surrender of principle
or by the performance of a crooked
act."
The program for the commence
ment exercises was as follows:
